Advice on a big leap

I'm from the UK female 34

Job 1)

Fully remote - no travel costs

Easy desk based role - no stress lots of flexibility but also not skilled

48k / year total

Little to no progression other than annual 3% payrises

It's unsatisfying work and I am bored but also I know lucky am lucky to be fully remote. Unstable often redundancies but been there 5 years

5% pension match - total 10

Job 2) just been offered after interview

Fully onsite -

9 day fortnight

Practical hands on job (something I miss)

Lots of scope and future progression with courses and skills to be achieved. Stable industry no risk of AI etc

40k/ year starting (predicted after 12months 48k

You put in 5% they out in 3% pension - total 8

Over time opportunities at 1.5x

Im SERIOUSLY stuck on what to do/where to go and seeking some guidance on taking the leap or if I'm stupid and should stay and only if I ever get made redundant then to reapply elsewhere

Any thoughts very welcome!

Thankyou

Job change option

Hi all

Seeking some advice

Currently a PA for a big firm earning 46k a year (with a 2k annual bonus) and roughly a 3.5% payrise. Company benefits aren't to great but I WFH which has pros and cons

.. pension match at 7%

I've been offered a job elsewhere but it's 40k.... But with a guaranteed 5% yearly payrise and a large pension match or 13%. It's hybrid with 2-3 days onsite and it's 4 days a week not the standard 5

I'm currently very stale in my present job but wandering if the pay drop is just too silly or if the pension and additional benefits outweigh?

What would you do?

Hi I'm near the area ISH and love walks and hikes! I'm 34f are there any groups for this sort of thing? Always happy to travel for a good hike/walk

Hi all currently doing a BTEC in mech engineering, my aim is to be a mechanical fitter. Just how brilliant at maths do I need to be on the job? I feel weak in this area and it takes me a LONG time on my course. I'm practically minded but the thought of having to use this maths everyday is worrying me... Any advice../reassurance

Thanks

What path? Advice please

In 34f and my boyfriend of 7yesrs decided he didn't know what he wanted and left. (I'm over that side) But context for my financial situation matters. I'm bought him out the house and obviously now have the mortgage in my own.

I have a very corporate job, I WFH most days, it's super flexible and low stress but I've been extremely unsatisfied for a few years and feel ill never progress my salary of 46k. (I roughly get a 5% bonus every year). Also whilst WFH has been great I' feel I've done it too long now and have 0 work social

So I studied something practical/hands on(engineering) and aim to be a mechanical fitter (doing planned and preventative maintenance) and maybe work upto a facilities manager. Mainly in the hope that being hands on and overtime opportunities and progression will be possible as currently I feel stuck and capped doing what I do (basic office job)

The job starts at 43k with overtime opportunities paid x1.5. it feels like a step back, but is it a step back to go forward or am I insane? Seeking some advice/previous experience of those who have made a change or in industry that can share realities

Thanks!
